The Kyrgyzstan women's national football team, officially recognised by FIFA and AFC as Kyrgyz Republic, is the women's representative football team for Kyrgyzstan.

History

Although formed immediately after Kyrgyzstan gained independence in 1991, the team played its first competitive match only in 2009, during the qualifiers for the 2010 AFC Women's Asian Cup. Despite a lack of experience, the team managed to progress to the second round of qualifiers, where it was knocked out by stronger rivals Vietnam and Hong Kong.

Not having had enough financial support, Kyrgyzstan did not manage to play a single friendly match until the next Asian Cup qualifiers,[3] for the 2014 tournament, where the team took the last place in the group, losing every match.[4]
